Kind of reminds me of an altercation I had on Facebook last week with some idiot (a gay guy) I didn’t know at all, and who wasn’t even a Facebook friend. I finally had to delete and block. Some people truly believe that because they are hiding behind the safety of a computer screen they can say or do anything they wish.

Cabinet Member Who Might Be Pro-Gay-ish

A guy named Rex Tillerson who is the CEO of a large oil company was recently named Secretary of State by President Elect Donald Trump.

Tillerson is also the first member of the President-elect’s cabinet who may be considered to be somewhat in favor of LGBTI equality.

A long-time volunteer with the Boy Scouts of America, Tillerson played a significant role in updating the organization’s views on including gay youth.

In 2013, the Boy Scouts of America’s National Executive Board decided to end its ban on gay scouts, although the ban on homosexual leaders and adults joining its ranks was upheld until 2015.

You can read the rest here. I know nothing about Tillerson, so the best I can do is go by what I’m reading in this article and hope it’s accurate. I do think that LGBT people want/need to hear something positive with regards to the Trump administration and LGBT equality.

San Fran Stud Bar Safe For 2 Years

With so many gay venues closing all over the world, and gay culture changing so rapidly, this is excellent news.

The collective of activists and cabaret artists that are battling to save San Francisco gay club The Stud, which has been running for 50 years, has announced that it has secured the venue’s future for at least the next couple of years.

However, after that time, they will be looking to find a new home for the bar.

There’s a lot more here. It’s actually a group of regular customers who are keeping it open. They’ll be holding some kind of crowdfunding with a $500,000 goal. If you’re inclined to donate, you can find the link with this article. I think you can buy T-shirts and tote bags, too. I actually want one of the T-shirts. I’ll post a pic if I can get one.
